Description
Nonlinear Differential Problems with Smooth and Nonsmooth Constraints systematically evaluates how to solve boundary value problems with smooth and nonsmooth constraints. Primarily covering nonlinear elliptic eigenvalue problems and quasilinear elliptic problems using techniques amalgamated from a range of sophisticated nonlinear analysis domains, the work is suitable for PhD and other early career researchers seeking solutions to nonlinear differential equations. Although an advanced work, the book is self-contained, requiring only graduate-level knowledge of functional analysis and topology. Whenever suitable, open problems are stated and partial solutions proposed. The work is accompanied by end-of-chapter problems and carefully curated references.

Awards
"This book covers a wide range of topics concerning nonlinear differential problems with smooth and nonsmooth constraints and passes from nonlinear eigenvalue problems to control problems for evolution equations driven by variational inequalities. ...Most of the results presented here appear for the first time in book form and give an overview about the author’s research activities and related works during the last ten years." -Zentralblatt MATH
"The book is well written and well organized; the reading is pleasant. The reader is well introduced to the topics treated in a clear, direct and never trivial way. For the variety of the tools used and for the depth of the results collected, this book is useful both for advanced researchers and PhD students interested in studying nonlinear differential problems involving elliptic or evolutionary operators." -Mathematical Reviews Clippings
